[Thinking about the Heavenly Realm, Ye Yu felt very irritated.]

[Last time, with the help of his golden talent, he finally managed to squeeze into the Heavenly Realm.]

[But before he could even stabilize his footing and observe the surroundings, he was instantly taken out by someone.]

[This situation would make anyone feel extremely upset.]

[So, Ye Yu had already started planning ahead.]

[He intended to find more protective artifacts and invest them in Su Yao.]

[Hopefully, in return, he could get some high-grade defensive spiritual artifacts.]

[Of course, if he could get a semi-immortal artifact, that would be even better.]

[This time, Ye Yu was determined to be fully armed before venturing into the Heavenly Realm again.]

[However, the most urgent task at the moment was to gather more valuable items to invest in Su Yao.]

[By doing so, he would become stronger, which was the most important thing.]

[As Ye Yu’s strength grew stronger and stronger, the cultivation methods, treasures of heaven and earth, and artifacts he could access became more advanced.]

[During this trip, Ye Yu obtained a thousand-year-old Fragmented Jade White Fruit and a high-grade robe.]

[These two items took a lot of effort to acquire.]

[So, as soon as Ye Yu got them, he hurried back to the Lotus Sect, intending to give them to Su Yao.]

[On the way back, Ye Yu happened to encounter his Master Geng.]

[This unassuming master of his, after so many years, had steadily advanced his cultivation, only improving by one minor realm.]

[Such a slow pace seemed miraculous to Ye Yu.]

[But in reality, more than ninety-nine percent of cultivators in the cultivation world were like Master Geng.]

[Only through persistent hard work could they make even a small step forward.]

[After all, not everyone was like Ye Yu, blessed with both a system and innate talent.]

[Even so, whenever Master Geng returned from a trip, he would always bring back some things for Ye Yu and Su Yao.]

[Although Ye Yu no longer needed these items, as long as Master Geng offered them, he would gladly accept and warmly call out, Thank you, old man!]

[And Master Geng would smile, casually scolding Ye Yu.]

[In truth, Ye Yu knew very well that all of Master Geng’s offerings were hard-earned. No matter how insignificant they seemed, he must accept them.]

[Only then could this master feel that he was useful, which would make him very happy, encouraging him to continue working hard.]

[Otherwise, if he lost his motivation, for a cultivator, that would be the path to ruin. Leaving no chance for advancement in this lifetime.]

[It’s important to know that the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is not very long.]

[If he cannot reach the Golden Core stage, Master Geng won’t be able to accompany Ye Yu for much longer.]

[The two of them returned to the Lotus Sect together.]

[The first thing they did upon arriving was to call out Su Yao’s name.]

[But there was no response.]

[This made Ye Yu and Master Geng sense that something was off.]

[In the past hundred years, no matter how many times they went out, Su Yao always stayed within the Lotus Sect, cultivating, never leaving.]

[Over time, Ye Yu and Master Geng had the impression that no matter when they returned, Su Yao would be quietly waiting there.]

[So why was there no response this time?]

[Ye Yu and Master Geng immediately began to search around.]

[Finally, inside Su Yao’s room, they found two letters.]

[Their names, Ye Yu and Geng Haisheng, were clearly written on them.]

[Judging by the delicate handwriting, it was undoubtedly Su Yao’s own hand.]

[Ye Yu quickly picked up his envelope and began to read it.]

[“Junior Brother, I need to go away for a while. Thank you for all the help you’ve given me over the years. I’m very grateful.”]

[”If I manage to take care of things, I’ll come back and tell you a secret. Please wait for me, okay?”]

[Upon reading the contents of the letter, Ye Yu immediately furrowed his brows.]

[Su Yao going away?]

[How could this be?]

[How was he supposed to continue his path of investment now?]

[This was really awkward!]

[Just then, Master Geng suddenly leaned over, casting a glance at the contents of his letter.]

[He said with a sour tone: Oh, the letter she wrote for you is quite lengthy.]

[Ye Yu asked in confusion: Is this considered long?]

[Master Geng said nothing, quietly opening his letter to show Ye Yu.]

[After Ye Yu read it, he fell completely silent.]

[Because in the letter to Master Geng, there were only a few simple words.]

[“I’m going away. Don’t worry.”]

[One thing to say, the letter for Master Geng was indeed succinct and to the point!]

[Ye Yu, holding the envelope, slowly walked outside, looking at the familiar surroundings around him.]

[His feelings were very complicated.]

[Su Yao’s departure had thoroughly disrupted all his plans.]

[The main issue was that she hadn’t even specified a timeframe.]

[This indicated that the situation was highly unpredictable.]

[It could be a few days, or perhaps a few months, even years.]

[So, during this time, what should Ye Yu do?]

[He turned his gaze to Master Geng, hoping to see if he could switch the binding to another person.]

[The next moment, the notification sound rang immediately.]

[Binding not possible.]

[Indeed, things outside the rules allow no loopholes whatsoever.]

[He could only bind to one person, and couldn’t change it midway.]

[Ah, this is truly heartbreaking!]

[Master Geng, with his legs crossed, sat nearby and said calmly: Sometimes, when people are around, we take them for granted, thinking we have plenty of time.]

[But when that person leaves, we realize that a long time has passed.]

[Words left unsaid can only remain hidden in the heart. This feeling is very hard to bear.]

[Ye Yu’s expression immediately turned weird.]

[What happened to Master?]

[The unassuming old face suddenly said something so rich in emotional wisdom. It really gives people a strong sense of contrast.]

[Master, if this was Earth, I would recommend you to debut on the spot; you’d definitely become famous!]

[Seeing Ye Yu’s complicated gaze, Master Geng’s expression became even colder as he said, Don’t look at me like that. Who hasn’t experienced youth?]

[In my youth, love was also passionate and intense.]

[From an experienced person’s perspective, I advise you, if you see that girl Su Yao again, be brave and confess your feelings.]

[She should have been waiting for your confession for a long time.]

[Ye Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide.]

[Why is this about confessing again? Master, don’t matchmake randomly!]

[Master Geng laughed and said, Still denying it?]

[If you didn’t like Su Yao, then why have you given her everything you’ve ever acquired since childhood and kept nothing for yourself?]

[Don’t talk about camaraderie; I don’t believe it.]

[Liking is liking; what’s there to be afraid to admit? Just confess openly.]

[I’ve secretly observed that whenever you’re around, Su Yao’s gaze never leaves you. That girl definitely likes you too.]

[She’s just waiting for your confession!]

[What I want to tell you is just one thing: some things, don’t wait until it’s too late to regret!]

[Ye Yu fell silent.]

[Could it really be like this?]

[Meanwhile, at the edge of the East Sea Continent, Su Yao arrived there, looking at the vast, endless sea.]

[Her expression was extremely serious.]
